Dear Summer: I miss you horribly. There is nothing like a week long winter cold to make you wish for summer days. In order to avoid complete winter depression I decided to cheer myself up with a little pre-summer shopping. Here are some items at the top of my wish list.

Hive & Honey $59 Piperlime

Amanda Uprichard $96.99 Piperlime

I think these dresses would be really fun for summer and if I paired them with some casual shoes they could be great day to night dresses. Lately I've been dying for a pair of Tom's they are cute and philanthropic, and would be perfect summer shoes. Here are my favorite choices.

You may have noticed the complete lack of posts from last week; allow me to explain. The first couple of days I was out of town, and as soon as I got home I managed to pick up some cold germs. Needless to say I rarely left my bed last week. I think that the worst part of being sick is the after illness, sore, red nose.

Unfortunately I have a feeling I am going to resemble this little guy for the rest of the week.

I just found out that we will soon have a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie!! This fact made my week. Weirdly enough, right before I discovered this fact I purchased a piratey shirt and pair of boots (can you say midnight premier outfit!). Here is my modern update on the pirate classics.

I would love to keep this giveaway to myself, but I'm nice so I will share the news. Valerie at Red Vines for Breakfast is hosting a great giveaway!! If you enter you are qualified to win a brand new pair of Ariat cowboy (or girl for that matter!) boots from Langston's Western Wear. This is fabulous for me because I am in desperate need for black cowboy boots (I compete in western horse shows so they are a necessity!). If I win I am picking these beauties.

They go great with my show clothes and my normal everyday clothes!!! So hoping I win! Happy Tuesday.

The weather this weekend destroyed my travel plans, so I used my time at home to catch up on my Netflix que and to go through my scrap book paper collection. I ran across this adorable double sided paper, but I haven't found anything really cute to do with it it. Sock monkeys are my favorite, so I'm going to wait until I find the perfect project to use it on.

Do you remember in grade school when the teacher used to have you make mobiles out of hangers? Lately I have been wishing I could make a mobile for my room. With the weather so bleak it would be nice to have something bright and moving to steal my attention from time to time. Here are some really pretty ones I found while hunting around on the internet.
